he is the former editor of World Tennis magazine and a former senior
columnist at Tennis Week.

The book has received high praise from some of the most respected names
in the sport, including Chris Evert, a winner of 18 major singles titles,
who wrote the foreword to the book.

Said seven-time Wimbledon champion Pete Sampras, “Steve Flink was there
reporting on almost every big match I played in my career. He has seen
all of the great players for the last 45 years. I encourage you to read
this book because Steve is one of the most insightful writers on the game
that I have known and he really knows his tennis.”

Said former U.S. Davis Cup captain and player Patrick McEnroe, “As a
writer and a fan, Steve Flink’s knowledge of tennis history and his love
of the sport are second to none, which is why you should read his new
book.”

Said ESPN’s Cliff Drysdale, “To see tennis through the eyes of Steve
Flink is to wander through a wonderland. These are not fantasies because
Steve captures the essence of tennis matches in graphic detail. There is
no one more passionate or caring about his subject. In this absorbing
book, I can relive matches that I have called on television.”

Said CBS, NBC and Tennis Channel commentator Mary Carillo, “The GREATEST
TENNIS MATCHES OF ALL TIME is a masterful tennis epic. Its pages are
brimming with insight, hindsight. And as always with Steve Flink, the
20/20 vision of the subtleties and complexities of a match. From Budge to
Nadal and “Little Mo” to Serena Williams, Steve will guide you through
the greatest matches you ever saw, or never saw. The game’s finest
players and brightest moments will come alive and play again, right
before your eyes. This book is a tennis treasure.”
